Top Siding Trends for Pennsylvania Homeowners in 2025

Considering a siding replacement for your home? If so, you may know the choice of modern products is, well, humongous. Material choices alone can overwhelm even the most knowledgeable homeowner, and that’s not even to mention the plethora of color and design options available.

But with this article, the E&E team is going to cut through the noise. Because our specialized crews install a lot of siding—and as such, we feel confident sharing the top trends we’re noticing in our area.

So have a look—and when you think you’ve found the perfect balance of budget, performance, and looks for your home, be sure to reach out for a complimentary estimate from a contractor that’s been putting clients’ minds at ease for over thirty years.

What Siding Aesthetics Are Popular in Southeastern PA in 2025?

General trends in siding are moving toward tasteful contrasts in both color and texture. 

It seems that homeowners are ditching one-material facades in favor of blended exteriors like horizontal lap accented with stone facades or board and batten vinyl siding.

This layered look adds visual intrigue while respecting the traditional architecture of the southeastern PA region—so take a look at what other homeowners have done with their siding. You may be surprised to notice just how common—and attractive—this two-tone look is in our area.

For some perfect examples, check out a few of our recent siding installations.

Modern Siding Color Trends in 2025 & 2026

Long-gone are the days of muted pastels and a favor for every conceivable shade of beige. These days, homeowners are preferring richer, moodier color schemes: deep charcoals, navy-blues, forest greens, and even blacks (fun fact: some rental properties earn more when painted black). 

Along the lines of accent pieces, many homeowners are using contrasting colors for siding and trims—a regional twist that pairs nicely with the often neutral backdrop of fieldstone foundations and the red clay brick locals know so well.

It seems that darker siding choices—offset with contrasting accent pieces—delivers an attractive curb appeal that sets the modern home apart.

What Siding Materials are Dominating the Market in Southeastern PA

After a massive boon for stucco siding in our area (which has led to some problems—keep reading), two siding choices seem to be leading the charge, with a few stalwarts standing their ground.

Here’s the breakdown:

• ‍Engineered Wood: Engineered wood products—like our top-selling LP Smartside—are durable, attractive siding options that come in a wide range of colors and styles. Some are even backed by a 50 year warranty!
• ‍Stone Veneers and Accent Panels: From porch piers to chimney surrounds, stacked stone veneer remains a go-to favorite in our area. And with manufactured stone panels that mimic quarried materials, material and installation costs are now lower than ever.
• ‍Vinyl Siding: Still widely popular as a budget-friendly option, vinyl siding installation doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. While these products may not last as long as other options, they’re popular among DIYers for their simple and easy maintenance.
• ‍Board and Batten Vinyl Siding: Perhaps even more common than stone accents in our area are board and batten vinyl siding products with a vertical profile—especially on spots like exterior wainscoting.

The Most Popular Uses for Stone Siding in 2025 & 2026

Homes fully covered in stone have an antiquated look. These days, homeowners are opting for stone products to accent the bold colored lap siding of their home.

Here are a few of the most common places we’re seeing stone veneer accent pieces:

• Front entryways
• Porch columns
• Chimneys
• Garage fronts
• Lower exterior walls (wainscoting)
• Fireplace surrounds or interior accent walls

“At E&E, we install primarily ProVia cultured stone, as well as a more budget-friendly option called Versetta Stone alongside natural stone options—both are popular, attractive options in our area.”

Is Board and Batten Vinyl Siding Still Primarily Used for Farmhouses?

The vertical profiles of board and batten vinyl siding—traditionally used for farmhouses—has since crossed over to the mainstream—especially when used to cover exterior wainscoting in contrast with the moodier-colored lap siding popular in our area. 

Additionally, board and batten vinyl siding works well for homeowners attracted to the rustic “barndominium” style. 

How are Homeowners Handling Siding Repair vs Full Siding Replacement in 2025 & 2026?

At E&E, we find many of our homeowners are opting for full siding replacement over repairing panels as they go.

We believe there are a few reasons for this:

First off, the prevalence of poor stucco jobs in southeastern PA (from improper installation practices in the 1990s) is leading to many needing full stucco remediation—the removal and complete replacement of existing siding to preserve the exterior of the home.

Second, homeowners are opting to take advantage of the opportunity to replace old, shoddy siding as a means of giving their home a facelift and modern look. 

And finally, if there are just a few panels that need replaced, many are skipping professional siding repair services altogether in favor of less expensive (and let’s face it, satisfying) DIY fixes.

What Siding Products Are Most Popular This Year Among E&E Customers?

At E&E, Diamond Kote and LP Smartside are our top two installed brands—and for good reason. These brands both offer top-tier siding products backed by industry-leading warranties—not to mention the varied modern color palettes and design options available!
